World Without War

Mark is already an hour late for Jennette’s birthday when a fatal aircar duel leaves him burned alive. In this future, even death may not be the end of his evening.

People inhabit manufactured bodies in a future where fighting is ordinary but cooperation—especially between men and women—is forbidden. Mark can transfer into another body, yet his replacements are battered, and none feels quite right for the birthday gathering he cannot bear to miss. Jennette is more than an appointment: his growing tenderness unsettles the rules he has always accepted. So he reaches for an old duplicate of himself and sets off through a sky where another encounter could cost him the body he has left. What will Mark risk to see Jennette?
